Kind of a trend, the amount of youtubers who i had loved but their content became generic after gaining popularity is quite a bit, most drastic one being mrwhosetheboss, his uniqueness went down faster than ~~MH27~~ MH17

Never would have called him a favorite of mine exactly, but a channel I used to watch was Shadiversity. Had some interesting videos on medieval life and castles. These days he seemingly only does "let's test this wacky weapon" videos and has a terrible second channel where he whines about "woke culture".

Tangential fun fact: the guy from "Shadiversity" and the guy from "Drawing with Jazza" are brothers. This is incredibly odd to me because I don't think that they look or act alike at all.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 10 months ago

I find that connection hilarious cus Jazza is way more popular and talented with true artistic ability, where shad is an anti-woke dipshit who gets mad at the mario movie and plays with swords.

That's disappointing. I've watched a lot of his videos over the years and didn't even know about a second channel or his beliefs.

Isn't that kind of a good thing?

Some people don't want to financially support creators who on record have said things like homosexuality is wrong and should not be encouraged. Watching youtube videos is financial support.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Has he actually said homosexuality is wrong? This is the first I've ever heard of that.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

I understand that, but I also respect creators that keep their main channel focused on its core.

I lost interest after he sang the praises of the Goblin Slayer rape scene. BuT tHe GoBLiNs nEeD tO bE sCaRy! You can "make monsters monstrous" without adding explicit rape scenes to your mid-tier manga.

I actually appreciate that he's taken care to keep the two channels separate, I just didn't bother to subscribe to Knights Watch and so it doesn't bother me.

I guess mileage varies on the "wacky weapons" vs "medieval history" division, though. I like both so I'm fine with them being mixed.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

Same, I watched so many of his videos and enjoyed all thw castle shit. Too bad

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

After a certain point, what else can you cover about the medieval period thats interesting, entertaining, understable to a general audience, and can fit in a youtube video?

I still think he needs to collab with Jill Bearup on boob armor, though.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

That's fair enough, though I do think there are a ton of interesting medieval topics he still could have covered. I'm the kind of guy who likes watching multi-hour essays on ancient civilizations though, so I might not be "general audience" and he moved pretty much in the opposite direction of what I like to watch. Finding his second channel was what sealed the deal for me though, couldn't take him seriously after that.
